PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1.1.1 GENERAL CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES 1.1.1.A. Supply a safe, climate controlled building and subfloor as detailed in the nora Installation Guide (available at www.nora.com/us). 1.1.1.B. A subfloor that meets the requirements of ASTM F710 Standard Practice for Preparing Concrete Floors to Receive Resilient Flooring is required, or as detailed in the nora Installation Guide or nora® nTx Installation Guide as appropriate. 1.1.1.C. A secure storage area that is maintained permanently or temporarily at ambient service temperature and humidity (except walk in freezers or similar), or 68°F ± 5° F and 50% ± 10% relative humidity, for at least 48-hours prior to and during the application of the flooring, so the flooring contractor can acclimate the flooring materials is required. 1.1.1.D. An installation area that is weather tight and maintained either permanently or temporarily at ambient service temperature and humidity (except walk in freezers or similar), or 68°F ± 5° F and 50% ± 10% relative humidity, for at least 48-hours prior to, during and 72-hours after the application of the flooring is required. 1.1.1.E. Areas with direct prolonged exposure to sunlight should be protected with the use of Low E glass doors and windows or facades. 1.1.1.F. Areas of the flooring that are subject to direct sunlight through doors or windows should have them covered using blinds, curtains, cardboard or similar for the time of the installation and 72-hours after the installation to allow the adhesive to cure. Note: These areas should be installed using wet adhesives only. 1.1.1.G. Prevent all traffic for a minimum of 12-hours and rolling loads for 72-hours to allow the adhesive to cure. If required, after 12-hours protect the flooring from damage during construction operations using Masonite, plywood or a similar product, ensuring first that the flooring surface is free of all debris. Lay

panels so that the edges form a butt joint and tape the joint to prevent both movement and debris entrapment underneath them. Inspect immediately before covering and after removal for final acceptance. 1.1.1.H. Have the flooring cleaned no sooner than 72-hours (unless given written permission from the nora® Technical Department) after the installation using either the nora pro clean® system or a standard method as detailed in the appropriate nora® Maintenance Guide.
